Confirmation

Preparation for Confirmation is a two-year process that typically begins in the 9th grade. 


Our program meets on alternating Sundays from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM and usually begins with dinner and fellowship. The first-year students attend a day retreat in the fall and second-year students attend a weekend retreat in the spring.


Registration for the 2023-2024 school year will begin on July 1st. This page will be updated with registration forms then.

Confirmation perfects Baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit in order to root us more deeply in the divine filiation, incorporate us more firmly into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church, associate us more closely with her mission, and help us bear witness to the Christian faith in words accompanied by deeds.
